LIL THE NEEL || Lil The Neel || Danila Kashin

"If a problem can't be solved with money, then it just needs more money. Or at least more money."

General information
*Full name: Lil The Neil (to his inner circle and in the crowd, simply Neil)

• Status: Nominal business owner, professional slacker, aspiring (but very confident) musician.

Character and temperament
Neil is a man of contradictions that he desperately tries to hide behind the mask of a "tough guy from the streets."
*Charisma and Humor: He's incredibly charming. Neil is the life of the party, with a well-timed, witty joke that can defuse a tense situation or, conversely, provoke a conflict with a single phrase. He's a gifted talker and easily wins people over when he wants to be.

• Boldness and Confidence: He's absolutely certain of his own exclusivity and impunity. When he walks into a room, he acts as if it already belongs to him (thanks to his mother's money and connections).
  *Hot-tempered: Neil gets angry easily. If something doesn't go his way or someone questions his authority, he instantly turns purple and lashes out. He's never learned to filter his words in the heat of the moment.
• Jealous: He's possessive to the core. This applies not only to girls, but also to friends, and even to his "things." If Neil considers someone or something his own, he interprets any sideways glance as a declaration of war.

Biography and background
Childhood and the "ideal" upbringing
Neil's mother, Svetlana, is an iron lady, an incredibly influential and strict woman who built a business empire. Throughout her childhood, she tried to mold her son into an "heir to the throne": elite private schools, tutors, etiquette. But Neil resented his mother's stifling control. Ignoring Svetlana's stern lectures, the boy would run away from the courtyard of the elite residential complex to the suburbs, where he fell in with the "bad crowd." It was there that he picked up the street slang, habits, and insolence that so infuriated his mother.
Education and "business"
Neil certainly received a higher education, but only thanks to his mother's wealth. The diploma was purchased, and during his studies, Neil only showed up at the university for the parties.
Tired of tolerating her son's idleness, Svetlana gave him a small car sales company so he could "finally grow up and earn his own money." But Neil is true to form: he hired a professional manager who does all the dirty work for him. Neil himself shows up at the office once a month to collect his share, smoke a hookah in the office, and show off to the staff.

Hobbies, interests and hidden sides
Yard Music (Main Passion): Neil dreams of the stage. His passion is soulful, boyish guitar-driven rap, blended with street lyrics and simple chords. He sincerely considers himself "the voice of the streets," despite the fact that he writes tracks in a multi-million-dollar studio paid for by his mother. His songs are full of drama, romance, and boyish honor. Secret Weakness (Love of Animals): Neil has a secret he'd literally bury: he's madly in love with animals. He can't pass by a homeless kitten, secretly funds three dog shelters (under a false name), and regularly feeds stray dogs. In public, he plays the tough cynic, but at home, he has a huge, tiny, fluffy Pomeranian, which he cuddles to the point of death and hides from guests. None of his "cool" crowd should know about this weakness, so as not to ruin his brutal image.
